lyrics
i've been awake two nights too many
you wouldn't even recognize me
all that we see or seem to be is but a dream within a dream
will you make me sleep again and then, in dreaming i am dreaming
strange, that we are blessed in the change
for fear their colours should be wash'd away
and you sat smiling at his cruel prey
i promised you i would not stay
so spare your little pocket change
to the man who's country stole his name
you wouldn't even recognize me
all that we see or seem to be is but a dream within a dream
will you make me sleep again and then, in dreaming i am dreaming
strange, that we are blessed in the change
for fear their colours should be wash'd away
and you sat smiling at his cruel prey
i promised you i would not stay
so spare your little pocket change
to the man who's country stole his name

metro recommends:
-
probably one of the best lofi albums i've heard in a while. plus nick is a pretty cool guy.
go to album -
this album strays away from what i would usually listen to. it's peppy and upbeat for the most part, but i'm a sucker for girls with cute voices.

Rough Business in Copenhagen
by FISKManic drum & bass with a sinister industrial edge from this Texas artist that occasional recalls Aphex Twin at his most evil.

Toise Make Noys
by Uncle WoozeeThis wild experimental artist from Chicago uses electric kazoos, tape loops, and more to craft far-out, wonderfully confounding songs.
